Where do you derive oppression from the comment on wealth and independence? The fact that pretty much anyone in American could own a running car if they so chose is absolutely a sign of wealth and the ability to move around is a sign of independence.

Out of curiosity, what is the correct amount of time FEMA should house people when Texas and FEMA have programs to find you a non-hotel space? Based on the tone of the article, it sounds like you think 8 months is too little, so clarifying what is the correct amount of time might be helpful.

I mean we obviously get enough information to know Kilmer is a huge asshole. We just don’t get enough backstory to see if Mox is rebellious period or rebellious specifically because of the coach. For instance, we have no idea if he would be equally rebellious to a reasonable coach.

I don’t think we get enough back story to know.

I would argue that he is correctly biased against Mox even though the coach is an unnecessary asshole. It seems like a reasonable ask to not have your backup doing homework on the sideline or running plays you didn’t ask for him to run.

I am not sure if it has caused white supremacist views, but adults are definitely the most toxic part of youth sports. It doesn’t seem inherent in the kids playing them.

This is accurate. Mox isn’t supposed to be bad at football. He just doesn’t care because he doesn’t play and that infuriates his hardo coach who wants him giving it 100% despite never seeing the field. They specifically illustrate his throwing being good when he purposely break his dad’s nose. Add to that, he always…

Billy Bob doesn’t have swelling in his brain during the final game. They specifically mention he got a CAT Scan and came back fine. Mox isn’t asking him to play through injury. He is asking him to play through depression. The Sui attempt was predicated on the coach being his father figure and then finding out that the…

It looked fairly amateurish.

To be fair, I was willing to trade a bus ride of Jesus talk for a free ski trip.

While that is correct for painting, sculpture, and architecture, the great hymns written by the likes of Bach weren’t commissioned. Similarly, the later thematically Christian writings of folks like CS Lewis and Hawthorn still hold up and weren’t commissioned by any church.

The church had the market cornered and painting keeps getting worse as a medium in general. There are lots of technically adequate painters, but I feel like even they struggle to find inspiration in their work.

That certainly didn’t help the religious art scene.

Easy. I don’t think Keynesian economics works. I know that Socialism works even less. If I could just vote individually on variety of issues, I would prefer that to the current system because I am big on the separation of church and state so I don’t like the religious right either.

They do not handle allegory or subtly very well.

Would all Mel Gibson movies be considered “conservative art”? While the Passion was hot trash, I enjoyed Braveheart immensely.

I don’t know who that is. Your spelling brought up a Thomas Kinkade who does okay scenes with the occasional church in the background. They seem like something someone might put in a cottage or ranch home, but it didn’t appear to be specifically inspirational to me.

I used to go on Christmas and Easter to make my mom happy. They stopped doing the type of music you are describing and I’ve never been back.

That’s my point. I’m pretty sure CS Lewis was the last person that I considered a good devotional artist. I may have missed some, but in general, evangelicals are absolutely shit at creating anything that resembles art. They are more in line with bad propagandists. It is generally so bad that they make socialist…

This sounds horrible. I am generally fine with my roommate vaping, but one of his friends decided maple syrup would be a good flavor. I have since banned that person from my home.
